Comment 1 Morgan Leijström 2026-01-09 22:20:14 CET 
Advisory is needed.
I believe that what i see in package description is enough.

As our blog post 6/1 already told we have a backport 6.18 it is urgent to ship it.

...need a files list too.

Maybe another tester with suitable GPU. TJ?

Sort of "This package provide a fixed/patched version for kernel modules built with dkms-nvidia470 under kernel 6.18.x available in backports".

Comment 5 Thomas Andrews 2026-01-10 16:31:52 CET 
MGA9-64 Plasma, nvidia Quadro K620 graphics.

Started in kernel 6.6.116, using nvidia-current. Used drakx11 from MCC to switch to the 470 driver, which built successfully, then installed the cuda-opencl package manually, and rebooted. Everything looks good.

There were no errors building the modules for the 6.12 series kernel in backports, or with the 6.18 series kernel in backports testing, and no issues after rebooting into each.

Looks good here. Giving it the OK, and validating.
